One (hopefully) helpful bit of criticism about the website to Mr. Perdue: The photo of the laptop is pretty, but I had to go to Github to see an actual detailed screenshot of the contents of the file.
Maybe include just a flat PNG version of the image that I can click-to-zoom on right there on http://blakeperdue.com/ios7-wireframe-kit/ ? Maybe you could get cute and make the laptop screen clickable to see a higher-resolution version. You've got a lot of nice detail in there (like the glyphs) that people might otherwise miss out on.
Off topic: Do most web developers/designers just not care about firefox anymore? I've hit so many links on the HN front page that were designed specifically for chrome and have parts just falling into the ether etc. on firefox. What gives? Don't you at least look at it in the other browsers before making it live?
I think part of the problem is that Chrome uses a branch of Webkit, and combined, Webkit has a huge majority of the market share (Safari, Mobile Safari, Chrome, Mobile Chrome). It's a clear winner for "first target", but I agree, FF shouldn't be left behind, it still has a large chunk of the market share.
I'm on firefox and it looks alright for me... Maybe they test it but it works for them. With the current version numbering schemes, there are many conditions to test.
Maybe I'm just not that proficient, but I can't fathom how anyone can use the words "rapid" and "Illustrator" (or "Photoshop") in a sentence about wireframing.
I recently had to wireframe some iOS screens for a project. Dealing with Adobe's UI, the layers, the workflow, exporting images, etc. was just awful. I ended up using Moqups (https://moqups.com) and, while it's not WYSIWYG UI elements, it did the job and was actually rapid.
Folks who do this 8 hours a day are ridiculously fast at it. I consider myself pretty proficient in PS, and our designers make me look like a toddler with a crayon.
There's so many things that you can only do in Illustrator that you can't in any other suite. Once you get the hang of it, you can be blasting out vector artwork as quickly as you think of it.
